Friends of the Goucher College Library

Focus, the Friends' twice-yearly newsletter, is a great way to keep up with what's happening at the Goucher College Library. You can learn more about the Friends and access the newsletter on the Friends' page. and you can support their work by checking the Friends of the Library box on the college's online giving form. The library's subscription to LibGuides is just one way the Friends help library services at Goucher move forward.

Databases from home!

ANNOUNCEMENT!

The library is now able to provide alumnae/i remote access to several of our databases using your Goucher credentials. Please visit http://libraryguides.goucher.edu/offcampus to learn how to get started. If you need to locate your credentials, please contact helpdesk@goucher.edu or (410) 337-6322.

Other Databases

We're not able to provide remote access to subscription databases other than those listed on this page because licensing agreements with the publishers limit such access to current students, faculty and staff. You can visit here and use them in house, with a temporary password supplied by the IT helpdesk in the Info Commons. You’ll need to email articles to yourself because printing won’t be available. You can do all this at most other academic libraries too. Check out their websites to see what they offer. And don't forget to investigate what your local public library has to offer.
